The Jews, iii many ways the
most remarkable people on the globe,
have of late years given evidence of
advance in many respects. The re-
cent grand bequest of Baron Hirsh
of $40, 900, 900 for the uses and pur-
poses Of Jewish charities in Europe
will in all probability stimulate
another wealthy jew in the same di-
rection, and give the race the grand
est possible opportunities for good.
The Baron wisely gives his money
during life and health, and will see
to it that his gifts are wisely appro-
priated. In magnitude of value this
gift excels even the princely gifts OF
Peabody. Who among the critics Of
the Jewish race will do better than
Baron Hirsh?
Bishop Quintard, Of the Episcopal
church, after his European tour, has
returned to his home at Memphis.
The clergy of the churches met him
at st. Mary's cathedral for a celebrat-
ton of the. holy communion, and
then went to breakfast given by
Mrs. Burforf at Cavalry church rec
tory. On last Tuesday night he de
dictated Calvary church rectory
The bishop is looking quite restored
in health and cheerfulness by his
trip abroad and the clergy and peo.
pie of his diocese united in giving
him hearty welcome home.
Cardinal. Morella denies the re.
port recently cabled to the country
that he had officially examined and
approved of the works of Henry
George. The latter and his friends
used the canard to its full extent
prior to the recent New York elec
ton, but the well known hostility oi
George and McGlynn to all that
pertains to CathoIicy was toe
thoroughly understood to have any
i.
effect on their foregone political
defeat.-Adans, The Catholic.
